An update on my home radio station. The transmitter is being ordered tomorrow and should be here soon.

Also, after working over the weekend to build an RPM for UBS, I found that UBS would act bizarrely whenever I tried to play music. Turns out that the pathnames my package was giving it were not being applied to the source code in all the proper places. When I ran it with its default (and ugly) /usr/local location, things seemed to work. Or better, at least. It still didn’t play music. But I’m closer. (Maybe I don’t need to play music. The station jingle could say: “Radio Windsor Forest: Your Sounds of Silence!”)

What I’m looking for is a ready-out-of-the-box station application. If I can get UBS straightened up enough to build a package, it might play that role. We’ll see.
